Chu Jiangmian, who traveled hundreds of miles day and night, finally set foot on the land of Zhao. He rarely rests along the way, and most of the time he thinks about things in silence. Fortunately, Lao Ji drove the carriage quickly and steadily, so that he was not too tired.

The injuries on the body are carefully taken care of by Jiang Xue'er and Qiancheng, but there is no big problem. Although his face was a little pale because of blood loss, when he saw the familiar mountains and rivers of Zhao Guo, the light in his eyes still gave everyone great confidence.

The territory of the Zhao State is still peaceful and calm. The attack of the Yan army on the northern border does not seem to have affected the lives of ordinary people. In fact, deep down in most people's subconscious, there is a very firm belief in one fact. As long as King Chu Lie of Zhao sits in Dragon City, Zhao State will be impregnable, and no enemy will be able to attack it. The king of the iron horse and the longbow is a towering mountain in the minds of everyone, and on that day, he retreats and looks proud.

It's just that few people will think about it, the mulberry fields are in the sea, the world is impermanent, and the mountains also have a time to collapse. Once they lose their great support, where will they go?

"Sure enough, the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhao...... What Nangong said before he died was not a lie. ”

After thinking about a lot of things, Chu Jiangmian rubbed his forehead with a wry smile and muttered in his mouth.

"Brother Jiang Mian, are we going home soon?"

Jiang Xue'er, who woke up from her sleepiness, was still a little sober. She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Jiangmian, who had been sitting next to her, not knowing where she had arrived now.

The wind lifted the curtains, and the breath was unusually comfortable in the chest. The sound of horses' hooves in my ears also seems to be particularly crisp. This is the gallop road cultivated by the people of Zhao State, and it doesn't feel bumpy at all when walking on it. Chu Jiangmian nodded and rubbed the girl's messy hair.

"Now that we are already in the land of Zhao Kingdom, we will be able to reach Dragon City in half a day. Cher, you slept comfortably this night. Hehe! ”

When Chu Jiangxue heard him say this, it was as if she had suddenly woken up to something. Hurriedly got up, and while sorting out his clothes and hair in a panic, he rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"I hate it...... Brother Jiang Mian, don't mess up people's image like this in the future! ”

"Why, haven't you liked ...... since you were a child?"

"That was once upon a time! Now I'm grown. The queen mother taught that she should be a noble princess in the eyes of the people. ”

"That's right...... All right. The little yellow-haired girl already knew that she wanted to be beautiful! Xue'er is a noble princess, and she doesn't need to dress up deliberately. Hehe! ”

Chu Jiangmian smiled dotingly and rubbed his soft hair, but Jiang Xue'er pouted again, and when she was about to lose her temper again, she suddenly heard a chuckle of "poof". She quickly turned her head away, and shouted with joy in her eyes.

"Ah...... Sister Qiancheng, you're awake! Brother Jiang Mian, he's bullying me again. ”

Murong Qiancheng sat up from the other side of the carriage, she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, let alone how many hours she had been asleep. It's a little strange that on this bumpy journey, this sleep was so sound. Since the family fled after the shock, it seems that he has never slept so peacefully.

She came back to her senses slightly, smiled and nodded to the girl sitting opposite. But she suddenly touched the smiling gaze, and she quickly lowered her head. Only then did he find out that he was wearing a cloak from Chu Jiangmian, but he didn't know when he put it on. Smelling the man's breath on it, his heart moved, and his face slowly turned red.

Jiang Xue'er doesn't understand these things yet. She consciously stopped disturbing her brother's thoughts. But he sat over and took Qiancheng's hand, and the two of them began to whisper. The girl's heart has not experienced the sinister of those worlds, she only knows that as long as she returns to Dragon City, there will be nothing to fear. She wants to treat Murong Qiancheng well, because they have become good sisters along the way.

Chu Jiangmian lifted the carriage curtain sideways and glanced out. The galloping carriage crossed Pingchuan, and the red sun was rising in the east. The outline of the Marble Mountains has appeared in the distance. The two horses have been following the front and back of this carriage indefatigably, and the two on the horse seem to be tireless figures, one is Murong Licheng, and the other is Bai Ye. And on the back of the horse leaving the city, the young man who had been rescued by them last night happened to turn around and see him. Chu Jiangmian smiled faintly at him, but the young man's eyes were full of confusion, as if he hadn't figured out the identity of their group until now.

"Are you still relaxed? The information brought back by the young man had already made it clear that the armies of Qin and Wei had already attacked in two directions, and they would attack soon. If you add the other three directions of flanking strikes...... Isn't Zhao Guo in danger? ”

Hearing a soft whisper behind him, Chu Jiangmian turned his head and saw that his clear and beautiful eyes were full of worry and were looking at him.

"What's that...... Isn't there a saying that says, the soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth! What is there to be afraid of? Zhao's army is brave and invincible, but it is not something that can be bullied by any cat or dog. If you don't understand, don't worry about these things...... Hehe! ”

"Chu Jiangmian, can you talk to me well! Is this a joke too? Our sister and brother agreed to follow you to Zhao Kingdom, but they didn't follow you to die! ”

Seeing this guy's pretending to be relaxed, Murong Qiancheng suddenly became angry. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she just couldn't help it.

"Then what do you want me to do, and now I go alone and kill them all by myself? I don't have the same skills as Lao Ji! ”

"Forgive you for not having that much ability! Hum...... It's just going to be a fight with me. Too lazy to pay attention to you. Anyway, this is your Zhao Kingdom's business, if you are really attacked by the enemy under the Dragon City, see if you can still laugh! ”

Murong Qiancheng grumbled angrily, not wanting to pay attention to this guy anymore. Although she knew in her heart that Chu Jiangmian might be more anxious than anyone else. But she just couldn't see that he always looked relaxed.

Chu Jiangmian stretched out his hand and took the blood-stained oil paper package again, he had already read the military intelligence several times, and there was no need to look at it again. He only held the small bronze medal in the palm of his hand, and finally restrained the smile on his face.

"Zhao has never been afraid of war, and the soldiers of Zhao have never been afraid of sacrifice...... It's just that whoever it is, there is value in the sacrifice. The blood of every warrior will not be shed in vain. No matter how many enemies there are, Zhao will win! This is my promise to the loyal souls of the warriors. ”

As he spoke, he solemnly put the small sign in his arms. Remembering and remembering is not of much use. Only blood debts and blood repayment are the best rewards for the brave sacrifices.

Murong Qiancheng's heart suddenly thumped again. What she likes to see the most is what he looks like now!

The young man on horseback outside the carriage pricked up his ears and heard the last words spoken by the people inside. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quietly looked at the back of the horse walking with him. It was this supernatural boy of his age who saved him last night. It was he who used the broad sword in his hand to cut the man in black who was about to kill him into two pieces at once. The sight he saw at a glance was unforgettable for the rest of his life.

"Who are you...... Is it really useful to give him the information? ”

The blue bird finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, he pointed to the inside of the carriage, and whispered to the savior who rode the horse. Murong Licheng, who was carrying the sword behind his back, shook his head and did not answer him directly. He just said, "Since you're going home, just come with us." Don't ask anything else, you'll know when the time comes. ”

The blue bird closed his mouth and asked no more. But he believed that the son in the carriage who could say such generous words in person must be a person with great background.

Nothing after that. The group rose against the wind and went straight to the direction of Dragon City. It's just that now whether it is them, or all the people of Zhao State, even the people of the world. There is no real prediction that the wind and waves are about to sweep Dragon City!

If you look at the dozens of large and small princes' kingdoms and thousands of cities today, in terms of influence alone, in addition to Zhongzhou Luocheng, where the Zhou royal family is located, the most famous of them are, of course, the first to recommend Feng'an of Qin, Longcheng of Zhao, Guangling of Han, Canghai of Qi, and Daliang of Wei. These five royal cities are collectively known as the "Five Famous Cities" by the people of the world.

Looking at the world, seriously speaking, the best reflection of the size of the national strength, in addition to the strength of the military force, the first glance depends on the prosperity of the royal city. Knowing the mountains and rivers from the outside, you only need to look at the royal buildings of this country to get a glimpse of it. Putting aside the other famous cities for the time being, let's just talk about the Dragon City of Zhao in front of you.

Zhao's neighbors to the west and northwest were Wei and Yan, respectively. And due north and northeast, a horse flat river, fertile hundreds of miles. Outside the border town of Jicheng, the barrier of mountains and rivers is the territory of the Beihu people.

Beihu Iron Cavalry Armor World! For hundreds of years, it has been a near-invincible existence. They are the great enemies of the entire Central Plains nation. This barbaric people, in the north, occupies the steppes and deserts. Eyeing the tiger and ready to go south at any time. Numerous invasions once posed a huge threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even brought great disasters to the people of various countries living north of the Yellow River.

If it weren't for the fact that in recent years, several northern princes led by Zhao State have united to firmly guard the defense line, I don't know how many people would have died under their horses' hooves!

Even if it is strictly guarded, it is still difficult to stop Huma's southern invasion. Therefore, due to the strategic needs, as the capital of the Zhao king, the dragon city spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and after decades of time, it has formed such a majestic posture today.
